what do you think of global warming?

Answer 1

THE warmer the better.

Answer 2

Global warming is a serious indication to us, inhabitants of the earth, that we have been degrading the earth's conditions. It's CERTAINLY NOT a natural event in the sense that the climate of the world will shift dramatically within 5 to 10 years. For real example, i have a friend from Belgium. She said that they used to have snow falls in their country like 10 years ago. But, now they hardly can find it. So, it is so obvious that many people do feel about the effects of the global warming.

And, global warming is an issue that should be raised to public and global awareness. But, more importantly, it is time for us to put our words into real actions! I personally have been planting 20 trees. I started it a month ago and will keep going to plant them as many as possible. And i also use more environmental-friendly products and stuff. So, talking so much right now and then forget about it later on will not improve our environmental problems. And i think it's everyone's responsibility. No exception.

Answer 3

In my opinion it is a natural event. There is just as much data in the scientific community to support this as there is to support the idea that it is primarily caused by man. You asked for an opinion however, so I need not bore you with facts. The thing I don't get is how people can think they can predict the future just by relying what little data, relatively speaking, we have. Actual temperatures go back less that 200 years. Ice core data has suggested temperature data 400-500 thousand years ago, but I am sure there is a certain margin of error with that data. Even a half million years of data is a pretty small amount when you consider how old the planet is. Yet there are people out there who consider themselves "experts". And these people are attempting to change entire cultures to conform to their predictions. I think everyone should step back and really consider exactly what part of the Earth's long history we reside in, and what a ridiculously microscopic part of the entire universe we really understand. We have developed into a highly intelligent, adaptable and resouceful race. We can do things that weren't even along the realm of fantasy 200 years ago. But still, when you look at the whole picture, we are quite small. The Earth has been around for millions and millions of years. Mankind has been around for at least a few thousand, depending on your beliefs. Do we really think we have the capability to destroy it all in a span of a hundred years or so? I don't, and that's what I think about global warming.

Answer 4

Ferrari Babe - if you are so concerned about overpopulation you should die or at least be sterilised.

K B - your answer is correct. Keep on fighting the weak-minded.

It is a natural occurrence called Climate Change, something which has happened before without our influence. When one volcano can put more greenhouse gasses into the air than Man has produced in all history it puts our influence in perspective. Almost none.

The GW panic is a political movement to enable the Left to gain power, money and raise taxes. If Man disappeared tomorrow, the Earth would still undergo Climate Change. It might affect it by a few tenths of a degree per year in the rate of change, but it would still change.

Change is not bad or good, it is just change. Some people will be hurt by it and others will benefit from it. We will adapt. Look and see what the normal climate was during most of the time since the end of the last Ice Age. Greenland was green. Much of northern Canada and Siberia could be verdant farmland, as could be much of North Africa.

Answer 5

I think people are taking global warming a bit too seriously, but I should definately pay more attention to it. In my opinion, it's possibly a bit late to save the earth.

Answer 6

I think it should be accepted, and adapted to, because the cause of it is most certainly not man made.The evidence put forward by the so called experts that greenhouse gases produce the warming is absolute twaddle, and more research should be carried out to find and confirm the true cause, but with this present goverment I very much doubt it.

Answer 7

we can't change nature. the warming cycle IS natural, just like the big scare for global cooling was the biggest problem in the 70's.

it was a naural fluctuation too.

here are some of the predictions i grew up with over the past 40 years:

famine
mass death
shifting of food production regions
climate change
overpopulation
global cooling
mass starvation
massive glaciers
uninhabitable places on earth
running out of fossil fuel
pollution physically altering man (through adaptation)

all this was supposed to happen by the year 2000, and if man didn't stop using fossil fuels. we had 30+ years of "irrefutable data" showing that man caused it too.

but we didn't stop, we used more!

STRANGELY, NOT ONE PREDICTION HAS CAME TRUE YET!

now i'm supposed to "believe" global warming is "real"

Answer 8

It makes me scared. As I walk around outside I see all these dead worms laying. ( They come up from the ground when the ground shakes. ) I wish that this global warming isn't true but there are more things that are persuading me to believe in it.I'm so confused.Everyday I am scared because I'm afraid that a massive earthquake will strike one day.I'm scared that I won't be able to live up to when I become a mom or a grandma.

Answer 9

To me global warming means "Global destabilization" since the weather around many parts of the world is not only getting warmer, it is just becoming more erratic with fiercer storms, colder and hotter weather, more floods, etc, so as to why they call it global warming I am not quite sure, but I really think that it should be called global destabilization.

I have lots of info that I think you will find quite helpful and enlightening:

http://ecowellness.multiply.com/ for excellent inspirational info within my blog to help not only our world and its creatures, but to also open peoples hearts and minds to many amazing wonders that life has to offer. I also have lots of info in my blog to help fuel peoples imaginations to many possibilities that can be found only in the minds eye.

Along with lots of environmental info, amazing environmental pictures and videos (These videos show the beauty of this world and what life can be like if people take the time to appreciate life’s true beauty).

Let us all strive for a greener/brighter future by helping to create a solid foundation for future generations to build upon, so we can hand them a beautiful world, filled with never ending awe and wonders!!

Where peoples differences and uniqueness are accepted, where we all live as one, helping one another so that we can all play our own mysteriously beautiful melodies in the never ending, awe inspiring, song of life :-)

I truly have faith in humanity and believe that someday our lives and the world in which we live will truly be transformed for the better.

Answer 10

I am sick of hearing about global warming and carbon footprints. There is a whole industry that has grown out of climate/environmental issues. Human beings have been plundering this planets resources for centuries there has to be a consequence. Unrestricted population growth is the root cause of so many environmental and economic problems.

Answer 11

- Its happening.

- Part man / part natural.

- Used as a excuse by governments / local authorities to get money out of us.
- Solutions inaffective "I've taken my plastic to the re-cycle centre - I've helped save the planet " - Really? Carbon footprint of getting it there & the process of recycling it (assuming its not classed as contaminated and sent to landfill) for small result - WHICH IS TOTALLY COUNTERACTED by the fact MILLIONS don't recycle in EG China.
